Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland

Rating 4 out of 10

This movie definitely wins with best advertising campaign of the year.  For months I have been seeing the small clips either in movie previews or later on the tv ads.  The clip of the cute girl picking up a pin with a funky looking T on it and is magically taken to another world where people are using jet packs and George Jetson is flying his car to Spacely's Space Sprockets for work.  The ad's show all the pizazz without a clue what the movie is about.  That pretty much describes the movie.  The movie is amazing to look at.  Almost no plot to speak of. 

The movie starts with the young girl Casey (Brittany Robertson from the tv show Under the Dome) who is so smart she helps her rocket scientist dad solve complicated problems yet is so upset they are closing down NASA she keeps sabotaging the destruction of the space shuttle platform.  Thus she ends up spending the night in jail.  When she gets out she finds the cool round pin in her belongings with a big T (1964 Worlds Fair pen).  This magic pen when she touches gives her a glimpse of Tomorrowland.  She later finds out she is being recruited by a little girl to help save the world and Tomorrowland which was built years ago when the smart people realized we were destroying our planet.  

We are half way thru the movie before pretty boy George Clooney joins.  He was recruited when he was a child then thrown out later for not conforming. When Casey shows up on his doorstep it sets off some alarm that sends robot guys there to destroy them both (go figure).  We then find out the people in Tomorrowland realized the crazy way humans have ruined Earth they don't want them up there to ruin it too. Insert Clooney's politics here. The ending will leave you scratching your head if you are still awake. 

The movie runs an hour forty seven minutes and seems much longer.  The visuals were as I said incredible.  The story was boring nonsense.
